Book 101 Review in its Fifth season, featuring Caroline Rose as my guest.

Dear Riley Rose,: The story of a woman and her dog...and how they saved each other

I'd like to tell you a story. It's a fairy tale of sorts...

At the age of twenty-seven, Caroline Rose was finishing her first year of medical school and in the best shape of her life when she was shockingly diagnosed with a highly aggressive, incurable, stage IV cancer. 

At the age of one, Riley, a Great Dane/Labrador mix, was rescued from inhumane abuse. An Internet search of rescue dogs during Caroline's first remission led her to a picture a large broken dog with empty eyes that resembled her own. One impulsive decision later, Riley became a Rose. 


This is the story of two lost souls coming together as one and their journey together through family, love, loss, pain, and hope.

    Open-ear bone conduction technology functions by bypassing the traditional route of sound transmission through the outer and middle ear and instead delivers sound vibrations directly to the inner ear through the cheekbones. Transducers placed near the temples or cheekbones convert audio signals into subtle vibrations, which are then transmitted through the bones of the skull to the cochlea, the organ responsible for hearing. This innovative method allows users to perceive sound without obstructing the ear canal, leaving their ears open to their surrounding environment and can be beneficial and effective on those with hearing loss. Whether used for music, calls, or other audio content, open-ear bone conduction technology offers a comfortable and safe listening experience.

    Thinking, Fast and Slow Two systems drive the way we think and make choices, Daniel Kahneman explains: System One is fast, intuitive, and emotional; System Two is slower, more deliberative, and more logical. Examining how both systems function within the mind, Kahneman exposes the extraordinary capabilities as well as the biases of fast thinking and the pervasive influence of intuitive impressions on our thoughts and our choices. Engaging the reader in a lively conversation about how we think, he shows where we can trust our intuitions and how we can tap into the benefits of slow thinking, contrasting the two-system view of the mind with the standard model of the rational economic agent.Kahneman's singularly influential work has transformed cognitive psychology and launched the new fields of behavioral economics and happiness studies. In this path-breaking book, Kahneman shows how the mind works, and offers practical and enlightening insights into how choices are made in both our business and personal lives--and how we can guard against the mental glitches that often get us into trouble.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

    Ultimate Profit Management: Maximizing Profitability as You Grow Your BusinessThroughout the author’s career as a banker and business consultant, he has seen many examples of businesses that were doing just “fine.” They were profitable and growing slowly but surely, but then, the business owner decided that it wasn’t enough anymore to simply grow slowly. What was suddenly needed was growth of 20%, 50%, or even 100% per year, just like the notable companies they see and hear about every day in the media. They began to try to grow the business and in a short period, a profitable and thriving business became unprofitable. Since the business was no longer profitable, it needed to take on debt to pay its expenses. After taking on more and more debt, the business reached a point where it could not find any more debt to take on. This circumstance caused the business to fail to pay its bills anymore which led to a financial day of reckoning. Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?
